We are planning a trip that will begin on September 13th and run throught Speptember 19th. I am a school teacher and have only been able to stay at WDW for 5 days in the past (2 weekend days plus 3 personal leave days), but we are on our fall break and will be able to stay a little bit longer. We are staying with a party of 7 at the Beach Club Villas with free dining. This is the first time we have stayed at the Villas (we've been at the BC years ago) and are really looking forward to the extra space. Here is our planned itinerary with our ADR's.

Day 1: Drive from south of Atlanta, arrive about 1 pm, check-in and see if the room is ready, if not, go to the pool (SAB). We have an ADR at House of Blues and our daughter and her friend have a surprise gift (pre-graduation present) of La Nouba (front and center) at 9:30. My wife and I are going to ride the boat from Downtown Disney to PO-Riverside to see Bob Jackson's show (our favorite).

Day 2: Early breakfast at the Crystal Palace (before park opening) and see as much of the MK until 12:30-1. Split lunch with daughter, friend, and stepson's family at CRT and my wife and I at the relaxing Plaza. Then ride the monorail (up front for the kids) and walk through Epcot to catch the first British Invasion show at 3:00 (daughter is a huge Beatles fan). Break at hotel and back to Epcot to see World Showcase.

Day 3: Up early and through the International Gateway to Epcot's Future World. Lunch at Le Chef's de France (daughter will major in French studies in college) and back to hotel. Boat to MGM (oops, DHS) for evening EMHs and Fantasmic!

Day 4: Wife and I have breakfast at Boma at AK. Rest of the morning/afternoon spent at Stormalong Bay with lunch at Hurricane Hannah's. Evening spent at MK for MNSSHP.

Day 5: AK day with one day ticket needed for Free Dining package. Lunch at RFC (out of pocket). Evening EMH at AK (we've never been to Expedition Everest) followed by campfire/movie at the Beach Club for the teens/kids and stroll along the Boardwalk and Jellyrolls for the adults.

Day 6: Boat to MGM (oops, same mistake) ride Toy Story Midway Mania and othe DHS rides. Split lunch at Sci-Fi (stepson and family) and Mama Melrose's (one of our faves). Boat back to hotel. Stepson and family go to MK for Spectromagic (only time this week) while we stroll Epcot's World Showcase.

Day 7: Check out and breakfast for all at 1900 Park Fare before driving home to go back to work.

We will be at the Beach Club Villas the same time you are, well for 3 of the days anyway. Let's hope and pray for good weather!!

I hope you have a WONDERFUL trip! See you at Stormalong Bay.

I know what you mean. By the way, I would be proud if my son was a US Marine, too. We will have some Lime Green Mickey Head decorations. Maybe we'll bum into one another and say hello!

That would be great! Look for a tall couple with brown hair and freckles - oh yeah and a green mickey head will be dangling from my bag!

See ya real soon!
